The anecdote is related of Herr

The anecdote is related of Herr
Krupp that as he was once showing
the Emperor William through his
works the latter displayed great, inter-
est in the steam hammer, and was told
that the workman in charge of it,
named Ackermann, was so skillful
that hand might be placed on the
anvil without fear, and he would stop
the hammer within hairs breadth of
it. LET US try" said the Emperor.
"but not with the human hand-try
my watch" and he laid it, a splendid
specimen of work, richly set with
brilliants, on the anvil. Down came
the immense mass of steel, and Ack-
ermann, with his hand on the lever,
stopped it just the sixth of an inch
from the watch. When he went to
hand it back the Emperor replied,
''No, Ackermann, keep the watch in
memory of an interesting moment"
The workman, embarrassed, stood
with outstretched hand, not knowing
what to do. Krupp came forward
and took the watch, saying: "Pll
keep it for you if you are afraid to
take it from His Majesty" A few
minutes later they again passed the
spot, and Krupp said: "Now you can
take the Emperor's present from my
hand" and handed Ackermann the
watch wrapped in a thousand mark
note.

At the recent meeting of the Ameri

the late Judge Poland -
Il must pay tribute to the memory OF
a distinguished son of Vermont, who
was one of the founders of the AssOcia-
ton and from its organization the chair
man of the Executive Committee. Luke
z. Poland, who died suddenly July End
was born in 1918, and at the early age OF
thirty-three was elected by the Legisla-
ture of Vermont to the Supreme Court.
a position he held for seventeen years.
He was made Chief Justice In 1860, was
United States Senator from November,
1865 to March, 1867, was member OF
Congress, and his career in the House OF
Representatives was distinguished by
the fidelity which characterized his life.
Always active and earnest in discharge
of his duty, whether counsel. judge, Sen
ator, Representative, member of State
Legislature, Regent of the Smithsonian
Institution. or trustee CT the University
of Vermont; in all relations he was
eminent because he was man of great
originality and thought. That dignitied
earnestness of character did not chill his
nature or cast a shadow over social life,
for he was a genial gentleman, rich in
conversation and humOr. On his tomb

THE COMPETITIVE DRILL.

Following the addresses came the
competitive drill between the Wolcott,
Morrlsville and Hyde Park posts, a
feature Of the occasion which proved
to be especially interesting. The posts
chose committee consisting of Capt.
Blodgett, c. 5. Page of HYDE Park
and ID. u. Holmes of johnson, to de-
eide upon the merits Of their drills.
AT the close the committee awarded
the first prize $40 to Wolcott Post
I'd, Sl2 to Morrisville Post; Sd, So
to Hyde Park Post. An especially
| interesting feature of the drills was
that of the Morrisville company, under
command of Capt. Frank Kenfeld,
who gave an exhibition of skirmish
line movements. His company de-
ployed as skirmishers, retreating, lying
down, firing, &c. The boys of all the
companies did themselves proud-the
Wolcott company under Capt. Fisher,
and the Hyde Park company under
Capt, Blake, showing fine proficiency in
the manual of arms and marching. The
Morrlsville company were but little if
any behind in those particular requi-
sites of the soldier, but had evidently
given a good part of their preparatory
practice to the skirmish line drill,
which was very finely executed-much
to the pleasure and qualification of
the entire body of spectators.
THE SHAM FIGHT
The sham fight, in which Major
Stafford defended his battery from the
attacks of infantry and cavalry under
command Of Gen. Doty, was really an
exciting affair. But why need we
particularize when all did so well, rot
excepting the boys of the Crafts
bury band and the>~excellent drum
corps from Stowe, whose performances
did much to render the reunion a
pleasant one.
President Doty was very efficient,
and deserves great credit for his I'M
firing labors in giving direction 10 this
successful affair. The members of
his staff too, contributed their full
share towards making the festivities
exceedingly enjoyable.
That their future reunions may be
seasons of as much social pleasure as
the one just closed is the wish of all.
The public will ever regard these re-
unions as schools in which the rising
generations may receive their educa-
ton in patriotism, and we mist
the temper of the American people if
they ever tire of contributing, cheer
fully and abundantly, to the success of
all enterprises in which they may be
invited to participate by the noble vet

of the Republic,
